Can the Celtics Comeback against the Bulls?

The Boston Celtics are in a world of trouble. They claimed the No. 1 seed in the Eastern conference only to lose the first two games of the NBA playoffs. They have lost home court advantage and they are in danger of being swept out of the playoffs by the eighth seeded Chicago Bulls. Now they head to Chicago for game three and the question is, can the Celtics comeback?

For the Celtics comeback to happen they will have to win four of the next five games. This seems clearly unlikely with the way that they have been dominated in the first two games. They were crushed on the boards and gave up too many easy buckets. This daunting task will be even more difficult on the road.

No Battle on the Boards

Plain and simple the Celtics are getting beat up on the boards. In game one they lost the battle of the boards 53-36 and in game two 43-38. The second chances to score on offense is ultimately the biggest problem that the Celtics have to figure out.
